Roadtop Android Auto box questions
Anyone else using the Roadtop Android auto/apple car play box that could answer some questions for me;
- is there any way to get back any functions of next track/prev track on the head unit itsself?
- how would i check to see if i have the most recent update/firmware on this? versus what?
- Does this thing ever turn off? i walk too close to my car and its been off for an hour my phone connects to it.

In the settings of the unit (not on the carplay bit but the black screen with the white icons on) you can bring up the firmware data I believe.
I emailed the supplier through amazon when I had an issue with mine and they emailed me some new firmware data and instructions for how to update it, The reply time was slow as I am in the uk and they are in china but we got there in the end.
Once i updated my firmware it seemed to make the unit shut down a bit quicker once you had shut the car down as I used to notice that my phone would connect to it when I went near the car, It doesn't do this anymore.

Alright, I'll try shooting them an email. See if I can get this sorted. Worried about draining the battery out mostly.

Mine has been good since the update and hasn't noticeably gotten worse at any stage really. I am using wireless and always have, I wanted that functionality when I got the unit as it makes the car feel so much more modern. I had one unit that failed right after I got it but they sent me a new one straight away and this one has been fine for the year or so that I have been using it.

I purchased mine about 3 years ago but I can't seem to find the order number it was on Amazon, what version Cust version is yours? What improvements did you have after the update?

On the shoulder
I ordered mine in August 2020. Here is the link:

Edited to add: It still works well. Have an intermittent issue where it doesn't load the screen on the car (but it is functioning - I'm still getting audio wirelessly). So, I just click through to "disconnect" it and then "reconnect" it, and that usually fixes it. It seems to happen more often if the car is hot (i.e., been parked outside on a hot day). I've never reached out for help because it's very rare.
